PARIS, June 1, 1870, If social delights and pleasurable entertdinments ever Lad influence and power enough to soothe hu- man nature, surely the programme of this week must have transformed the victims of hypochondria and dyspepsia into genial, jovial companions. “Neverthelessj and although,"’ as mas:ers of rhe- toric say, when they are going in a forthcoming phrase to deny an assertion made in a former one, _ + Ido not suppose that there has been a more upset man in Paris than myself, ever since that flippant article appeared against American ladies at court, Jn a paper I have always upneld—a paper conducted by @man I admire, 1 am well aware the olfensive Paragraph was written by one of his staff, not him- sell, for he would disciaim it; but still, the impertinence of the thing im print roused the ire which nas been dormant in my bosom for over a quarter of acentury.

When I add that the writer of the above insanities signed Vicomte Letori¢re I. think I need not break a lance with him. Whenever he puts a word of English in bis papers there is sure to be a mistake; * consequently he may not kuow much about Ameri- cans, and surely forgets that all young ladies at court are there presented by the very worthy Minis- ver of the United States. Where not only Americans but also French and fnglish girls show that they are jebelan-minded is Dy exciusiveness, by over-dress- Ing, by “big” talk and boast. In the same Way asa man who Is unaccustomed to the offhand elegance of the high bredtis sure to ‘ sprawl,” instead of as- suining a quiet attitude, 80 do young ladies, by show- ing off al! they know, manifestiy prove what they do not know, and what they nave not always had. ver did the Emperor and Empress show more atfaptity and kindness to their American guests than on the evening in which the Vicomte aildes to in the above article, It was the Empress’ gala “lundi.” Its not at all astonishing that the pres- ence of many American beauties, thus favored nade French ladies, whose daugliters are not so stylish, rather Jealous, Her Majesty was most simply, but most tastefully attired in a crépe de chine of turquotse blue and Kng- Jish point, Her ornaments were diamonds, close to the neck, and a wreath of dark foliage was entwined ip her fair hair.

FASHION IN ROME. Tay “Life” in the Holy City—The “Season” Ended—American and British Beauty—Reli- gion and Show—The Council Voted a “Bore” —Fine Arts and Fervor—North- ern Piety and the Thermometer. Rowe, June 3, 1870, The Roman season ts atan end. The rich Amer!- can widows, with handsome daughters and good balances in bank; the red-faced Britisher, who in- variably drives his feminity before him, as the Swiss herdsman doth his flock,and always has hisred-bound “Murray” in his dexter and the dilapidated um- brella in the sinister; ancient virgins from the British Isles, whose incomes are handsome, but whose charms are as invisible as their gold ts invincible; middle-aged mesdames from the same regions, whose spouses have given up the ghost and remembered them affectionately and substantially in their last wills and testaments and the coidicls pendant to tie same; the indescribable class of the feminine gender Who are sure to obtain the best places at all the re- ligious festivals by the force of “being at the church ever before it 1s opened,” and who have prayed im all the churehes and betore all the shrines of the saints; the witty and gay, haughty and prodigal demotselles, who permitted the good-looking oilicers of the Zouaves to smile upon them, escort them to the Inner circle of the festivities of the churches, and chatted with them over weak tea in their hired apartments of all the failings and queer things encountered in this sublunary planet by young ladies “hunting up” hus- bands with tities and two rows of brass buttons, and pontifical officers beapangled with gold lace and pro- tected by swords not unlike those worn by the Crus- aders; the pious an] generous, who travelled from afar to the fect of the sovereign ponti, where they laid bright gold pleces and the most profound prayers for the health of the Pope, who graciously handed over the «needful to his treasurer, and gave the donors his blessing, his hand and toe to kiss, and sent them away to their distant happy homes with hearts glowing for the cause and the increase of Peter’s pence. All these have left us, and we are fast settling down ‘o keep cool, because it has become inconve- miently hot. Excepting the members of the Coun- cil—who are seldoin seen in the streets—and a atray son of France, who is doing the sights, Rome is de- serted of foreigners, The Roman season began in cold and rain, but It ends in fever heat. It has been a memorable season for the poor Romans, whose blood is thin. The constant rain and biting @amontano chilied them to the bone, and made many of them as profane as “our army in Flanders.’ Irreverent persons say that tr bishops brought the bad weather with them. ‘The reverent usaert that the broken weather was a sign from heaven to impress upon all the solemnity of the Council. Since the heat has become a!mest Mmsupportabie the wreverent say that heaven wants to drive the bishops away; the reverent say that the opposition will be meited to agree with the majority on infallibilty. So, be it unusually hot or cold, the ‘spious”? Ivalians Know how to turn the changes of the barometer to account, ‘The artists are not chary of wishing the Council to go “to Jericho,” or to New York. Statuary was never so poorly appreciated; painting has had many admirers but few purchasers, One artist told me:— “Formerly [ had two or three visits a day; sinee De- ceniber Lot six persons have visited my studio.” “The Council, then,” Iremarked, “has not helped landscape paiwting ?”? “No, hor any other kind of painting, nor anything else, I'd bet a iranc it bas not benclited te bish- ops,” disdainfuily replied my friend, ‘The shop Keepers, the vendors of “antiques,” cameos, mosaic jewelry and photographs have scarcely meue enough to pay rent and keep them in oil and sa\ad during the approaching summer. They are bitter in thelr comments on the Council and wish it were sentto Jerusalem. They have not courage to open their shops in the morning; they do open them in the evenings, but they have plenty of tune to note the pedestiians who pass them by; the visitors are gone and the Romans will have to live economically until next October; but as they wiil sleep on an average about eighteen hours out of the twenty-four from date untilafter the equinox their batcher’s bill must not be much for breakfast and dinner; their supper is composed invariably of a drink of water, a pinch of suuil aud ‘Ave Maria ora pro nobis.” The bishops who jive north and in the vicinity of latitude thirty-five to sixty are beginning to feel un- conitoriable. They have to attend the Council at haif- ast eigiit o’ciock A. M, and are in session until one P.M. They must quit their couches at five o'clock, make up their toilets, say mass, have breakfast and be at the Council chamber at hail-past eight kK sharp. Aimost every day there 1s a ses- ; the labor is becoming fatiguing, and ail are anxious to get away. ‘The strength of the opposition lies among the North- mm bishops. The friends of infaltibiiity have concluded to keep the Council open until the oppos..ion are inspired to vote the right way, but they don’t seem to have any acquaintance with the Holy Spirit; yet it is reasonable to suppose that the most sensible ones among them cultivate the friend- ship of a itttle pure eau de vie et cau after the ses- stons are closed. It isa holy proceeding to keep venerabie bishops in an insupportable climate whose consciences Will hot permit them to vote for We dognra of the personal infallibility of the Pope. The Vatican ciique know how very uncomfortable many of the Northern bishops are lodged, and it is to have them reduced to skeletons and to. unanimity that the sessions of the Council have been so constant during the past week. The Pope is determined to keep the Council in session all summer. It will not be adjourned until the “big’’ dogma is decided, and all the iuduences, powers, &c., of the Vatican are at work to have it a success, EMIGRATION.

Semi nary at Tray, N. Y. On Saturday, the 17th inst., the Holy Sacrament of Order was conferred on @ large number of gentle- men at St. Joseph's Seminary, in Troy. This institu- tion, which holds the same position in this country that Maynooth holds tn Ireland, 13 beautifully located on Ida Hill, an eminence commanding a charming view of Troy, Albany and the distant Catskills; also Lansingburg, Cohoes and Waterford. The building and surroundings were once in possession of the Methodists, and it was purchased from thein for the late Most Reverend Archbishop Hughes and con- verted into a seminary for the Province of New York. It was-his most ardent wish to found an ecclesiastical seminary that wonid be sufficiently spacious to meet the constantly increasing wants of the Caiholic community. The facuity is composed of divines of vast erudition and eminently well qualitied to instil into the minds of the seminarians Uhose precepts of virtue, learning and holy zeal that are the peculiar marks of the priesthood. Seimi- annually the doors of this mstitution are thrown open, large numbers of priests are sent forth to labor in the vineyard of the Lord. ‘The great pros- perity of this house isa sure sign of the wonuerful progress of Catholiclty im our midst. The number o:dained on Saturday was, as usual, very large, and the ceremonies very impressive, At eight o'clock precisely the doors of the chapel were opened, the p Sion of the ordinandt en- tered and took their places, Immediately after another door was openeca and the Right Kev. David W. Bacon, celebrant on this occasion and Uisho) of the Diocese of Portland, Me., entered with his at. tendants and procecded to the side of the altar where he was vested with the Episcopal roves. The Bishop in full } soe ayn the beautiful crozier in his hand and elaborately worked mitre resting upon his brow, now proceeded to the altar and cominenced the au- gust sacrifice of the mass, duriug which, as the most proper time, Holy Orders are con erred. Shortly alter its commencement, the young men who were to receive tonsure proceeaed tu a body to the altar, kne.t while the eclebrant invoked the blessing of the Most High upon then, that they, divested of ail wordly vanities might wear their new garments with all becoming sanctiy ana purity. This ceremony is supposed by very credible authorities to have had its origin even in the days of the Apostles themsclves. At the conclusion of tis ceremony the Bishop ros and procceded with the mass as far as the second prayer, when he assamed his former position and minor orders were conferred. ‘The students hav- ing arranged theimseives in the same way as the former ones, listened to a brief explanation aud received the four orders with their proper rites from thecelebrant. This over, those to receive the order of sub-deacon were calied forth, clouned in amice, alb, and girded with a cincture. The audience at this polnt became very avtentive, for they well knew that this was a critical point in the lives of the young men—thelr crown, their happ ness and their ail, They were now asked to mat an irrevocable vow before God, wiercas on recet' ing tonsure they had only made a promise which, of cuarse, could be withdrawn. ‘The candidates were duly impressed with the awful responsibility they were about to take upon themselves, and they had given this subject the utmost deliberatio: ‘They were now about to declare whether they were Wil- ling to forsake fat motier, brother and sister to put on the yoke of Christ. While they were filled with such sentiments the celebrant read to Wem an addvess to this efiect:—“Try, my dearly beloved chil- dren, reflect aud ponder well the duties which to- day you wish to take upon yourselves. As yet you are free and can embrace the worldly life and secu- pursuits, but this order once taken you wiil be free no ionger; from hence.orth 1 behooves you to serve God aud observe the strictest chasiity. ‘Therefore, consider this inatter, dear sons, walle lume remains; but if you sull persevere in your holy proposition, in the name of God advance.” They made that oue step for the audience. ‘ihe scene and words are entirely madeqnate the emotions and feelings that pervade the audienc At a signal the master of ceremonies all in moment Were prostrate on the floor at full ‘This Was So strunge aad wuexpected ers that they were more than ordinarily moved. idea of these young men in full vigor of manhood voluntarily g.ving up and dying to the word with such manifestations was very striking, aod the im- pression produced cannot be easily obliterated trom the minds of those who had the good fortune to wit- ness it, ‘They remamed in this position for some time, and then the prelate rose and imparted his benediction in the most impressive mauner, The sud-deacons Were now vested with tiel proper gar- meuts and oblamed the privilege of assisting at ons did not differ ed, and now com. the ordination of rd and a thrill rau through really grand, to express wo from was seemed them to the dignity of the priesthood.

The imiimatiou pot being responded to the ordination proceeded. The ait ig clergy, vested in cassock, surplice and stole, also took part in this ceremony by tinposing hands on the ordé- nandi, The hands of the young Levites were now consecrated with the sacred oils, the, i proper habiliments, und assisted at the entire bration of the mass. After the communion—of which all who had been ordained partook—another imposition of hands was made by the Bishop alone, and then they received ihe power of forgiving stns.

We learn that the President of the United States, the Vice President and the Secretary of State have expressed their interest in the approaching Confer- ence of Christians from ail parts of the world by af. fixing their names to the following declaration:— Having heard of the intended General Conference of em|- nent divines and others from foreign countries and our own, to be held in New York in September next, under the auspices of the Evangelical Alliance, we have great pleasure in ex- pressing our interest in that important assemblage of great and goud men, our approval of tue objects contemplated b; it, and the hope that ita deliberations may tend to the ad. vancement of civil and religious Liberty and the promotion of peace and good will among m It will be interesting 1n this connection to give a sketch of the Evangelical Alliance. In the year 1846 & convention was held in London and a society was formed for the diffusion of Evangelical religion in the world, A statement of brinciples was drawn up in general terms to define, the class of persons who were to be associated. Such a platform is essential as @ basis of any party or association or society. It includes those, and those only, who are sufficiently like-minded to agree upon the basis, The principles of the Evangelical Alliance are the following:— First—The Divine inspiration, At 0 wt iy Bone : hi a Y and suiliciency of Second—The ri and duty of rat - tarpretation of tie sloly Rorigiarens Tres eres Om the Ue Th Trinity of the ied-The unity of the Godhead and persons therein.

Perhaps they will, after compre- bending the principles of the proposed all-the-worid Evengelicai alliance, Progress of Jossism tn the Rocky Mountains Dedication of a Chinese Temple. {From the Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise, June ut ‘The Celestials of this city beheld |G dedicated their new temple, lately erected and ited up, They began the work about four o'clock in the morning, when they had a@ feast of roast hog and other fat things, sweetmeats, cakes, &c., Interspersed with singing, kueciing, bowing and, praying, with the firing of & brass howitzer, borrowed for the occasion, the explosion of bombs wrapped about with bamoo splits, and an immense consumpuon of firecrackers, At noon they tok @ tresh start and had another high old time. The temple is a frame ete fronting to the east, and cost about $300, The intertor 18 fitted up with a profusion of tinsel ornaments, at a cost probably of $300 more for the whole of the deco- rations. In the west end of the temple stands the high altar, and seated upon it are three STOW and bearded gods or kings, Two of these woode: [rece have long beards and mustaches, while the ardof the third is of the sailor cut. All three are seated behind a sort of curtain, banging down from & canopy, and looped aside that they may piainly be seen by their worshippers. In front of the gitar 18 @ tabie, upon which at uoon yesterday was exhibited a full grown hog, roasted to a turn, Before the altar a number of colored candles were burning, abso dishes in whieh perfumed woods were sinouilering. Be- hind this table was a narrow sort of altar, sapporung large candlesticks adorned with artaficial towers, colored papers and peacock feathers, In front of this came another tavie tilled with eatables and with small candles and dishes containing burning sandal wood, &c. The temple was crowded to sut- focation and even standing room could not be found for more than three-fourths of those wishing to enter. Some of the women planted ladders agalust the sides of the temple ana, clambering i them, man- aged to peep into the windows and tops of the doors. he priests, who came to the temple in procession about noon, dressed in thelr long biue robes, presented quite an imposing appearance. The ceremonies inside, & bear as we coud see, consisted In biessing certain robes with which the gods were clothed, blessing the wine and food before the people. and in many bows and genu- fiestion#, Ali this time an accompaniment to the clanting Was played on a squeaking two-stringed fiddie, With the occasional interference of some “baser” sounding instrument, At length word was passed to the crowd outside that the ceremonies in- side were concluded, when bombs were exploded, firecrackers touched off and for half an hour there was @ grand gunpowder jubilee, in the mtdst of which the priests aad big guus of the tribe marched out in dowbie file and Weat wetr Ways.

To Tue Epiror or THE HERALD:— You write that it is fully time political preachers, were played out, Now, you are well aware that the Romish Church meddles not only in politics, but goes even 80 far as to declare the Pope superior to em- perors, Kings and empires, the American Union in- cluded, of course. A good many people say and prove that the same Romish Chuich has her hands deep In American politics, York city politics, the public schoo! question all over the country, and many other things as proof tor it, and tf they Uabole in politics and the Presbyterians and other Protes- tants do not, of course our Catholic fiends wall carry ofthe victory in the end, A Defence of the “Sectarian Fund,” So- called. To THE Epitor or THE HERALD:— ‘This fund has been in existence only one year, but the immense a:nount of good that has accrued from it stampa it al once as being beneficial, The law has been repeated, the repeal to take effect next Novem- ber, and the results will speak for the goud or evil of Unis repeal, To the philanthropic head of one man was owing in@ great measure the birth of this appropriation; to the Union League Club, of New York, 1s owing its repeal, Let them have the honor, With regard to the objeciions brought forward in religious a8 Well a8 political circies against this ap- propriation, they can be classed under two distinct heads. The religious objections arise from a clouded understanding as to the real use of this fund, but the political objections are the result of studied, wilful misrepresentation, To the religions objection we will now devote a little space, The great objection 18 that this appro- priation necessitates a union of Church and State; but the utter failacy of this kind of reasoning is plain to the most illogical mind. Can there ever be aunion of Church and State when the number of denominations reaping benefit from this charity 1s about as numerous as the spouses of the muchly- married “Saint,” Brigham Young? Does it look much like @ union when we see a Jew, a Catholic and numerous Protestant sects receiving alike this charity? The idea of speakiag of this appropriation as causing such 2 union 1s preposteroua, Again, it is said that this appropriation 1s a stab at the public school system, ‘Ynts also can be shown io be a baseless iabric, The public school system 18 altogetiicr voluntary; but for edueation to be uni- sal, as is needed under a repuolican form of gov- ument, 1 must be Compulsory. Now, how is that ever to be obtained? Not, certainly, by enactinents. How, then? Weil, it has been proven beyond a doubt, by the statistics of last year, that this appro- priation 13 the nearest approach yet, in conjunction With the pubilc schools, to universal education, But soue Pharasaical creature here may’ say, “Thea why have the public schools at ali if the superintendent is to be continually reporting ‘empty seats’? Does the fact of there being empty seats in the public schools compel children to fill them ? ‘There are more than twenty thousand children in this city, Who wiil be agai tirown “upon the town’? next year unless private charity can be used. The public schools are certainly bulit for the pubiic vice; but can or will the officers of these schools go around and hunt up the really needy, the suffering poor, who cannot send their children to the public Schools? Howart Mission does this; the Catholte priest does this: trustees of charitable institutions do this. They visit the hovels of poverty, and, a8 is too often the case, Of crime also, and really drag the children to school, and often feea and clothe them also, “But that 18 their business,’ some will say. Of course it is, and they do not do ft for a temporal re- ward, still money is a necessary evil, and ail belief teaches us to make friends with it. ‘The Board of Education, at a recent meeting, an- ticipated oue of the resuits of this repeal in a nega- tive way by stating that the number of vagrant children bad wondersuily decreased last year, owing to the appropriation of money to other than public schools. Another objection raised is that fraud is practised. If this is 80 tuen.there ls no such thing as honor in either religion or politics. We know that tt is gene- raily velleved that to be a politician the firat requisite is to enter into & compact with your conscience, whereby you are not to be held accountable for any- thing you may say or do; but that makes no difer- ence in this case, A commissioner was appointed to distribute this fand whom even bis ine enemies had to respect and admire. Under his direction biank forms of ap- plication were prepared, and if any one thinks that fraud can weil be ons jet him read the ques- tions that have to be sworn to. These are the chief religious Objections, 80 lar, adduced against the ap- Ppropriation. Possibly there may be other reasous yet to come of which we are now tn biissful igno- 3 ran If so the sooner they are brought forth the betier. As for the political objections raised, we find them more difficult to answer. The objections ed upon a political necessity im this way:—There is a stekly fungus in this city called the Union League Ciub, which plant has been under the care of nu Merous gardeners, until at last the best botanical doctor that could be found suggested that the repeal of this appropriation be applied. Here was dis- covered another Alta Vela, and at once the work- men began their task. Success finally crowned their efforts, but it will be 80 long before the medicine will be applied that the excrescence may droop beyond redeinption. This 1s the only objection that is brought forward politically, and as it 18 a cardinal belle! in poliucs that “the ends any the means’ we can of course only give the Union League Club that credit which 1g due on account of this Rite The appropriation is a charity on the part of the city of New York to some of her really destitute children, and 18 no more a stab at the public school tem than was the relief heretofore granted by the ard of Aldermen to charitable institudons and churches a bid for @ union of Church and State. ‘'yhe statistics will prove the good that has accrued from this charity.
